Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

A short take about how ALL of the right wing talking points were from Smirnov and Russian lies.

Smirnov told his American handler that from 2015 to 2019 he had a series of meetings and phone calls with executives from the Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma Holdings and that they told him:
that Burisma added HUNTER BIDEN to its board to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems”;
that Hunter and JOE BIDEN “forced” Burisma to pay them each $5 million in bribes “to ensure Ukraine Prosecutor General VIKTOR SHOKIN was fired”; and
that there were 17 recordings (two with Joe, 15 with Hunter), text messages, and two financial documents with evidence of the entire scheme.
Word of the Smirnov dossier, memorialized internally at the FBI as a four-page report, leaked out and it became the white whale of House and Senate Republicans looking to impeach Joe Biden. Sen. CHUCK GRASSLEY (R-Iowa) and Rep. JAMES COMER (R-Ky.) finally got their hands on it last summer.
It was never fact-checked. None of the exotic Slavic characters it implicated came to testify. None of Smirnov’s LE CARRÉ-like meetings in European locales (Kiev, Vienna, London) were confirmed. No recordings of Joe — “the big guy” in Smirnov’s suspiciously familiar words — ever surfaced. No financial records ever showed any Burisma payments to father or son.
But Smirnov’s curious tale of Biden family corruption was reported as fact on the right. “Biden $10M bribe file released: Burisma chief said he was ‘coerced’ to pay Joe, ‘stupid’ Hunter in bombshell allegations.” read a NY Post headline. By one count, SEAN HANNITY aired 85 segments about it. KEVIN McCARTHY cited the Smirnov dossier as a reason he was moving forward with impeachment.

More Trump-Russia

remember, Repubs still consider ‘Russia gate’ to be a hoax. No matter how many trump-putin connections are uncovered. Two of them today. That’s how deluded Republicans are.

A Ukrainian parliamentarian who has supplied Rudy Giuliani with information intended to smear Joe Biden has been “an active Russian agent for over a decade,” according to the US Treasury Department. On Thursday, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control placed the official, Andriy Derkach, on a list of “Russia-linked election interference actors” and slapped him with financial sanctions.

You have to put yourself in the Trumpers shoes.

they can either.

1. Take that name and research who he is, what he is charged with and read the court filings. Then formulate an opinion based on all the evidence.

2. Cry fake news, Russian hoax, deep state.

#2 will win every time to a Trumper. Just like their dear leader. They don’t like to read.
